IDEAL 2010

IDEAL is an annual conference dedicated to emerging and challenging topics
in intelligent data analysis and engineering and their associated learning
paradigms. Previous successful IDEAL conferences include Daejeon (2008),
Birmingham (2007), Burgos, (2009, 2006), Brisbane (2005), Exeter (2004),
Hong Kong (2003), Manchester (2002) and Hong Kong (2002, 1998). The 11th
International Conference on Intelligent Data Engineering and Automated
Learning (IDEAL 2010) will be held on 1st – 3rd September 2010 in the
University of the West of Scotland, on its Paisley campus which is 15
kilometres from the city of Glasgow.

The 11th International Conference on Intelligent Data Engineering and
Automated Learning (IDEAL 2010) provides an interesting opportunity to
present and discuss the latest theoretical advances and real-world
applications in Intelligent Data Engineering and Automated Learning.

As in the past, the IDEAL 2010 proceedings will be published by Springer as
Lecture Notes in Computer Science Series and promising authors will be
invited to submit extended versions of their papers to the International
Journal of Neural Systems.

Submission of papers -     April 19th 2010
Notification of acceptance -    May 21st 2010
Final Submission -     June 15th 2010
Conference -     Sept. 1-3rd 2010
